Yet again you have taken a subjective opinion (your own) and attempted to arbitrarily apply it to others. You attempt substantiate your claim with the perception (again your own) that "Well, most people would consider paying more $$$ to get less in return to be a disadvantage"
Well Crashem his statement is not subjective at all!!! How one defines "return" may differ but no one would argue that "paying more $$$ to get less in return" is not disadvantageous :-) Even the person that paid for the ball in question would've liked to pay less for it! Naturally, there is the question of whether or not an R/C airplane is a luxury good and those people would rather the prices be maintained at a premium. To argue that this person see's his first R/C plane as a good like "rolex" or "louis vuitton" is a little preposterous. If truly he didn't care about the money... why not buy one of each and try it out for himself? He can have his butler make it, his driver run in the engine and his handyman charge the batteries. At least that still makes sense in economic terms :-)
Okay... I'm the one being preposterous now!
Not to rehash this but it is the assumption that "one is paying more and getting less as a disadvantage" that I was referring to as subjective.
My point was and is that saying that because an electric power source costs more then a comparable glow power source that the cost in and of itself should be considered a "disadvantage" is as silly as the electric crowd claiming that glow powers disadvantages is that its messy, noisey and smelly
If that isn't a subjective opinion then I give up
